Because "libgsl" means "/usr/lib/libgsl.so" and "libgsl:0" means 
"/usr/lib/libgsl.so.0".

Both are symbolic links to the real library. But the first one is usually only 
installed with the development package.

Anyway, always specifying the library version is a good idea. You can install 
several versions of the same library (libgsl.so.0, libgsl.so.1 ...). But you 
can only link to the one pointed by the libgsl.so symbolic link (which should 
mean "the last one"). Don't ask me why. Maybe there is a way to link to a 
specific library, but I don't know it.
